📢 ThanosCon happened on 19th March 2024 as a co-located half-day on KubeCon EU in Paris.
Overview
Thanos is a set of components that can be composed into a highly available metric system with unlimited storage capacity, which can be added seamlessly on top of existing Prometheus deployments.
Thanos is a CNCF Incubating project.
Thanos leverages the Prometheus 2.0 storage format to cost-efficiently store historical metric data in any object storage while retaining fast query latencies. Additionally, it provides a global query view across all Prometheus installations and can merge data from Prometheus HA pairs on the fly.
Concretely the aims of the project are:
- Global query view of metrics.
- Unlimited retention of metrics.
- High availability of components, including Prometheus.
